Science & Celebrity (CFPs)

Details of a CFPs for the Society for Cinema and Media Studies annual conference in 2006. This relates a little to the previous post. I wonder if 'What the Bleep..' will come up or the whole range of celebs who openly endorse Scientology. Even though I did walk out after 30mins (which was generous), it is certainly an interesting case study for this theme.

(I just googled this to see whether it would pick up this posting and came up with a Wikipedia entry on Scientific Celebrity).

Call for Papers: Panel on Science and CelebritySCMS 2006 (Vancouver)

Abstract submissions are welcome for papers that explore thecrossroads between science and celebrity in film and media. In recentyears, the field of critical science studies has offered rich new areasof inquiry for visual culture and cinema studies. In particular, thereis renewed interest in the early history of scientific cinema, the roleof visual technologies in the culture of medicine, and the sublimeforce of science fiction media. This panel will take these concernsfurther by examining specifically the way in which the visual culturesof science are themselves creating new star systems. Whether it is thescientists or their discoveries, the visual representation of sciencecreates a distinct celebrity culture that builds upon ideologies ofscience as the hero or saviour of the future. Topics may include: * representations of scientific discovery * the scientist as hero in film and media * science fiction icons and fan cultures * the place of visual technologies in the culture of science

These newly enhanced Globa| Cedar trees require only 9-12 years of growth before they can be harvested for lumber, whereas worldwide growth time for lumber is 30-50 years.

Other than growing at an astonishing rate, the Global Cedar has a number of other benefits. Its natural elements make it resistant to termites, and the lack of oils and sap found in the wood make it resistant to forest fire, ensuring higher returns on investments.The wood is very lightweight and strong, lighter than Poplar and over twiceas strong as Balsa, which makes it great for construction. It also has the unique ability to regrow itself from the stump, minimizing the land andtime to replant and develop new root systems.

Based on current resources and agreements, EGTY projects revenues of $140 Million with an approximate profit margin of 40% for each 9-year cycle. With anticipated growth, EGTY is expected to challenge Deltic Timber Corp. during its initial 9-year cycle.

Deltic Timber Corp. currently trades at over $38.00 a share with about $153 Million in revenues. As the reputation and demand for the Global Cedar tree continues to grow around the world EGTY believes additional multi-million dollar agreements will be forthcoming. The Global Cedar nursery has produced about 100,000 infant plants and is developing a production growth target of 250,000 infant plants per month.

Energy and Asset Technology is currently in negotiations with land and business owners in New Zealand, Greece and Malaysia regarding the purchase of their popular and profitable fast growing infant tree plants. Inquiries from the governments of Brazil and Ecuador are also being evaluated.
